Wednesday Briefing: Democrats Unite Behind Kamala Harris

Democrats ******* behind Kamala Harris

The top two Democrats in Congress endorsed Kamala Harris as their party’s presidential candidate yesterday, after she received commitments from enough delegates to secure the nomination.

The Democrats, Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries, had waited to endorse Harris so they would not be seen as dictating the selection process.

“Now that the process has played out from the grass roots, bottom up, we are here today to throw our support behind Vice President Kamala Harris,” Schumer said at a ****** news conference in Washington.

Harris held the first rally of her campaign in the swing state of Wisconsin yesterday, telling an energized crowd that she’d convicted fraudsters and cheaters as a prosecutor and knows “Donald Trump’s type.” She highlighted the $100 million that her campaign had received in contributions since Sunday and took a victory lap for effectively wrapping up the Democratic presidential nomination within 48 hours.

In an email to Secret Service employees, Cheatle said that one of the agency’s foremost duties was to protect the nation’s leaders and that it “fell short of that mission” in failing to secure a campaign rally where a gunman opened ***** on July 13. Lawmakers have pointed to glaring security lapses that allowed the near-miss attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, Pa.

“It’s clear that the job of the Secret Service is ******* than it used to be,” said my colleague David Farenthold, who has been covering the *********. “They protect more people now than they used to, especially during campaign season, and it’s clear that their resources were stretched. But the problems in Butler went beyond the budget — there was a lack of imagination and of clear accountability.”

For more, The Times created a 3-D model showing how the gunman had an edge over the countersnipers stationed around the rally.

An unbending leader’s deadly response

Sheikh Hasina, the prime minister of Bangladesh, has fought Islamic militancy, lifted millions of people out of ******** and deftly kept both India and China at her side. She steamrolled her opposition to win a fourth consecutive term just a few months ago.

But Hasina has also deeply entrenched her authority and divided Bangladesh, a nation of 170 million people. Those who kissed the ring were rewarded with patronage, power and impunity. Dissenters were met with crackdowns, endless legal entanglement and imprisonment.

This month, her ******* response to sustained protests about a quota system for government jobs has left at least 150 ***** and has grown into the biggest challenge yet to her dominance.

*******’s prime minister speaks to Congress

The prime minister of *******, Benjamin Netanyahu, will address Congress today. He faces mounting anger over the prolonged war in Gaza as the U.S. is caught up in political upheaval of its own.

Netanyahu, who is trying to shore up U.S. support for *******’s war effort, will meet with President Biden, Harris and Trump while he’s here. In Netanyahu’s last address to Congress, he railed against the Obama administration for its nuclear deal with Iran.

CONVERSATION STARTERS ARTS AND IDEAS A.I. can write sonnets, but it can’t do math

Chatbots like Open AI’s ChatGPT can compose poetry and summarize books, often with human-level fluency. But despite the efforts of the world’s smartest computer scientists, A.I.s often fail at simple arithmetic.

That’s because A.I.s are based on neural networks, which find patterns in vast amounts of data but don’t follow simple deterministic rules. It’s possible to improve their performance on math tasks, much like a human, though they still make mistakes.

“They’re usually fine, but usually isn’t good enough in math,” said one high school math teacher. “It’s got to be right.”
